[GCARC] BF 888s

[kermit911]

I wasn't sure what number ment what, so I tried 1, 5 ,and 9. But it still gave me static when I turn the radios on. I'm going to make a short video and upload it to youtube and send it here. ThanksKB3VEO

If so, try resetting the squelch to a mid level.Karl W2KBF-----Original Message-----From: gcarc-bounces at mailman.qth.net <gcarc-bounces at mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of kermit911Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2020 4:25 PMTo: gcarc at mailman.qth.netSubject: [GCARC] BF 888sHello everyone. My name is David (KB3VEO) and I'm new here, I hope to meet a lot of you at ham fest. Here is my question. I have a bunch of BF 888s and I am reprogramming them with GMRS frequencies. I save it to the radio and it works, but when I'm not transmitting all I hear is static. I changed the gain to max and still static. I changed it from wide to narrow and still static. It's very frustrating. Any help would be awesome.
